The Minister of Education, Héctor Rodríguez, reported that this week he began an evaluation process on the quality of education in the country, according to a note from the portal of the Ministry of Popular Power for Education.
During a ceremony to deliver science labs to educational institutions on Tuesday, the minister explained that this is a random process that will be applied to 10 percent of students in all schools across the country in the third and sixth grades of basic education, as well as in the third year of high school.
"We have decided to conduct our own assessment, one that reflects the country's interests regarding the quality of Venezuelan education. This will provide a roadmap and help us understand which subjects or areas of education we are lacking, because we cannot blindly direct and aim for everything," he said.
He added that it is necessary to clearly understand where improvements are being made and where progress is needed.
"We're going to conduct this assessment every year at the end of the school year, during the final pedagogical period. This will allow us to identify where we can address any weaknesses in a timely manner," he concluded.
